It seems as if after every mass extinction there is some form of crocodile that moves to chase prey on dry land. I predict this happening in two new places: Australia's Northern Territory, and in the American Deep South. In The United States It is unlikely that all crocodiles will go extinct, especially when some forms, such as the American Alligator have the conservation status of least concern. These tend to live in the deep south and stand to gain in a way that no mammal can. The thermoregulatory systems of mammals appear to mostly exist to keep them warm, and these use energy. As the planet warms, it is likely that it will benefit cold blooded creatures more. Ambushes on dry land It may seem strange to suppose that a crocodile would take over the land when other spe...
